X2 I drove the coupe like 8 or 10 times. Did you see tha guys m5 that was there. The guy that owns it has been racing for 30 years. He said he holds a bunch of records at Road Atlanta. Anyway it was pretty sweet, the Zs were fun.

[IndianStig]

did they let you turn off VDC?

[Tinton]

Any with manual transmissions? Didn't think so, so I didn't go.

They were auto.. But really if thats the reason you didnt/prefer not to go.... then thats really a lame excuse...But still it wasnt a bad hour to waste.

Shit, The Maxima Was pretty bad ass and it was auto and I'm willing to bet it will leave your Fiero's standing silly, actually probably the Nissan Versa will...

did you get his name?

[koukis14]

did you get his name?

Yeah but I forgot it, he was kinda old and told me a few time he had alzheemer's. He helped Shelby to the setup on the new reporduction Cobras at Road Atlanta. He had a bunch of Dinan stuff on his M. That thing sounded amazing when he went to lunch.

I just kinda hit the button, they werent that bad. They said no tire squeel but as long as you didn't hang the ass end out (wich I did and was bitched at for) they didn't bother you. I just kept driving by the tent to see if anyone was in line for the Z and they kept waving me through.

They had

Maxima
Altima 4 and 6 bangers
Versa
2 sentras

Titan
Pathfinder
Xterra
Roadster and Coupe Zs both track package but automatic.
The Brembos on those thing are fucking amazing

The course with the first list of cars was timed. I did 26.5 in the 6 cylinder Altima. If you did 30 flat you got a shirt. I just tried to get it as fast as possible.

They have the LSD's right? That must have been SWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

Doesn't matter. I had a '00 Camaro Z28 with 300 hp at the wheels that would spin the tires hard downshifting to 2nd gear at 70 or 80 mph. It was auto though, and I got tired of the automatic and I sold it.

A fast car should have a manual transmission. And the only reason I'd go out to some show like that is to drive a fast car like a 350Z. But, in an automatic?

And yeah the Altima would kick my car's ass. So? I enjoy driving my car a lot more than some automatic Altima.

Versa's come with a 122 hp and 127 tq 4-cylinder. With CVT its a solid 9-second 0-60 car, with the conventional auto its a 10 second 0-60 car. My Fieros get to 60 a full second faster than the CVT Versas, and they also get down the quarter about 1.5 seconds quicker. The Versas also weigh more, are FWD, etc, etc . Yeah, even from a roll I'd beat a Versa. From a dig it'd be no contest. Note: my cars come with 140 hp and 170 tq and weigh about 2600-2700 lbs curb weight.

Also, I just looked at the Altimas. With the exception of the 270 hp 3.5L V6, my Fieros would be right at the same speed with the Altimas. Both have almost identical 0-60 and 1/4 mile times (Fieros actually have a better 1/4, which is strange, since they don't have much top end).

[ironchef]

Were there altima coupes there, and if so how were they?

[VooDooXII]

I did..last week @ Marietta/ White Water.

I got tickets to that...didn't have time. College and shit. Oddly enough...people were at Tech, handing the stuff out. I signed up to win a Sentra though...heh.

[Z32redondo]

Nissan...FTW

[VooDooXII]

Too bad I couldn't go...then I wouldn't have to post my thread about the glovebox-less 350Z.

[james]

[Mike Lowrey]

I went on Saturday.


25mph top speed FTMFL!

It was lame, but got a free lunch.

My cars are stock (for the moment...). WTF else can I say? Let someone say I'd get beat by a Versa?

[Julio]
